Food = Love
it always has
I'm up at 3:30 making muffins for the team that had to work today. Normally I would make them from scratch -- but I'm learning to stop being crazy
they won't care anyway that they're baked from box
My employees know -- that Food = Love.
*****************
The last 5 years of my marriage --- I noticed something. The only time I ever received a compliment from the Ex -- was on my food.
seriously
I didn't notice it the first 6 months or so -- but then I started paying attention.
I got a compliment on anything I made -- but nothing on my appearance, my work....just food.
and it taught me -- Food = Love.
******************
Mr. C hated my cooking (well -- it made him sick -- he cannot eat anything spicy -- or with onions -- or with vegetables -- so -- everything I make)
and I had a hard time understanding why that was so hurtful --
until I realized that for me
Food = Love
******************
So I'm off to pack up warm muffins - take them to the office
where my happy employees will pounce on them
and I'll know
that they know
Food = Love
Food may not equal love, but it sure can put you in the mood.
ReplyDeleteNice. You're right,of course. My first husband was a terrific cook, but if you didn't eat what he'd fixed, or, heaven forbid, didn't love it, he'd be furious. When my more recent marriage was on its last legs, one of the things I noticed was that he wouldn't eat anything I cooked. If I offered to fix dinner, he'd say ok, but 5 minutes later, he'd go out in the kitchen and start cooking himself. They both knew - Food=love.

Mmm, for me food definitely equals love and when I don't feel loved I eat eat EAT. And spend the rest of my life trying to diet off the effects. I wish it was otherwise.
ReplyDeleteYep...absolutely...think it's one of those primal things imprinted into our DNA.
